Anyone know of clean, reasonable place for rent to store one of my cars...

4GTABODT · 09-28-2005, 10:39 PM

Vettes get the garage in the summer but the deal is the Mrs. gets a spot inside for the winter. If you know of anyone looking to rent a spot that is reliable and safe, I would definately like to know...thanks

What's a reasonable price? Shurguard Self Storage has a Winter special going on $400 for 4 months. I heard about it in July, not sure if they still do it or not. It's worth a try.

call them 905-842-4590 www.shurguard.ca

good luck, Les

Thanks Les...ya, I think $100 is on the high side of reasonable but still very reasonable cause I've heard of prices like $140-160...I probably go through $100 in gas each month in the summer...no wait, need to update that thought...hell, $100 is a steal

I'll call them tomorrow and let you know...just curious if they would run from November 1st to April 1st or does it have to be just 4 months

Thanks for the lead...

Steve, I'll check it out and let you know...hopefully they have a "gated" entrance...it would be

to share a spot with you that way I can sneak in and swap that DVD system of yours out

AGVI · 09-28-2005, 11:27 PM

They do have a gated entrance and security cameras and security guards do their drive by checks periodically.

It's a very safe place. They have Vipers in there, everything.

I'm also looking for a spot for my Vette this winter.

$100 dollars a month sounds resonable to me if it's close buy.

Keep us updated.

JETZ · 09-29-2005, 06:52 AM

I checked one of those 'self storage' palces near me last fall, and they wanted $320 a month

, though it was heated, and gated!I'll drive by tomorrow, can't remeber the name off hand.

Three other places I know:

Lenny's, Automega.ca, Etobicoke, 218 Evans Ave. 416-201-3042

Autovaultcanada.com, 416-346-0077, 416-932-3300

Legendary Motor Car 805-875-4700

There are two condo buildings in Burlington, Maple and Lakeshore area. The buildings have lots of seniors that don't have cars but ownership of a unit gets you a parking space.

I have used this befor, the buildings are The Palace and The Grand Regency. Cost has been $40 or $50 a month.

Underground lots are well lit and heated, security in the building is tight and monitored 25 hours a day.

Over the winter months they may have you come in and move the car so that they can clean the undergroud to control dust.

Just a thought...

Dave.

Interesting idea and great info.. thanks for mentioning it.... My biggest fear (only fear) is the security. I think the building would be pretty safe from theft and vandalism but with my luck the person parking next to me would be a 1975 caddy thats 30 feet long driven by gods grandfather.. picturing that wide turn as it pulls in beside me is enough to say....pass

4GTABODT · 09-29-2005, 01:43 PM

Phoned Shurguard and they only have single garages that go for...are you ready for this....$235.00 a month

...I mentioned the 4 month/$100 special and she was not aware of it. O well, the search goes on...I'll keep you guys posted

PS: If you take 2 or more spots, the others are discounted by 10%...I would feel real bad having Steve pay full pop while I saved $23.50

Airwilf · 09-30-2005, 10:21 PM

Airwilf is looking for a place also. Maybe if a few of us could get together we cold find a place & split the cost??

kidneyboy · 09-30-2005, 11:29 PM

I'd consider it too.

FrankTheTank · 09-30-2005, 11:44 PM

If I keep my car, I am looking for a place to store mine as well.

Shouldnt be too hard to find a safe secure centrally located 6 car garage for 100.00 each

Ratsirt · 10-01-2005, 07:59 AM

I would be interested also.

gdh · 10-01-2005, 11:55 AM

ask mike rag75 as he has a place that is reasonable, I will ask a place up here if they have any space left - they store mostly e-type jags and Lambo's in this barn just off hwy 9 - obviously lots of security and inside is temp controlled - the exterior and no signage helps to keep vandals etc. away. I talked to them a few yeas ago and it was in the 75/month range - I just use my garage.

ballox · 10-01-2005, 12:18 PM

I've got 5 Acres up here in Erin, Lots of space . If you guys want to put up the building for me you can park in it all you want !

75Rag · 10-03-2005, 11:45 AM

I store mine in a 3 year old steel barn out near Port Dover. It's a long way to go, but it's only $140 for the season. (Nov to Apr) I can call if you like to see if there's any room left .... doubt it tho.

gdh · 10-03-2005, 03:30 PM

called today and all spaced are booked for the next few years.
